Default how can I party hardest on a season!?

Hi there!

At the risk of sounding silly and immature i would like to ask a few of the questions that gap year students like myself REALLY want to know about ski seasons. I will be looking to do the grunt work as i have little experience with work but great qualifications from school. I'm almost ashamed to ask:

is it significantly more enjoyable to do a season somewhere english speaking?

Which companies are most relaxed with things such as turning up on time!?!

With which companies would you do the least amount of work!?

If you go with a friend is it possible for companies offering accomodation to put you together?

Which companies have the best perks? E.g. accommodation food ski passes equiptment etc?

which companies allow for shorter seasons, maybe only half seasons or more flexible?

Is it possible to be self sufficient? do you really earn enough to get by or will i need more funds?

I know i sound like i have entirely the wrong attitude but its not like that i promise! i just need to know the stuff they dont tell you! many thanks for any answers!!

why not get yourself out to a big resort, crash on a floor for a few weeks and get the inside track from those working there? Seems a bit easier than taking third party feedback via the boards?
